Here's a bit about Alison…

I’ve had an innate passion for two things from childhood – movies and product. (Well, if I’m being honest I’d have to add food to that list.)  I now make my living as a film and television producer, and lately, when I close my eyes and dream at night it’s not images of sugarplums that dance through my head, but of products I might invent and sell on QVC.

As a child, while the other kids played in the sandbox at the playground, I sat on a bench with my Mom’s best friend Marie. On a typical day Marie was in an Yves Saint Laurent pantsuit and I wore a Florence Eiseman matching top and knit pants.  I’d try on Marie’s jewelry and investigate the contents of her fabulous Gucci bag while she discussed with me the fundamental rules of chic. So began my style and grooming education. My reverence for all things style continued and I became an unofficial consigliore as friends sought advice on products and procedures and doctors and technicians. Long before the Internet and blogs, my clipping files filled with categorized information on products, services, design, art, restaurants, and all earthly delights were legendary reference tools for friends and family.

Of course, as I’ve gotten older, my interest in product has increasingly focused on anti-aging remedies.  How fortunate that I live in Los Angeles where the quest for eternal youth is not only socially sanctioned, it is practically a religion. The bottom line – I’m infinitely curious and a crack investigator.  Whether it’s finding the right lipstick or the meaning of life, I relish the mission.  I’m excited to share what I learn with the readers of Groomed LA.
